July 09, 2014

“Today’s passage of the federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act by the House of Representatives reforms a rigid and outdated workforce development system and sets the stage for employers to play a more active and effective role in preparing New Yorkers for the jobs of the future,” said Kathryn Wylde, President and CEO of the Partnership for New York City, the city’s leading business organization. “We commend the bipartisan collaboration that produced this legislation.”
